Chapter 476: The Galactic Republics Road to War (Part 1)
476, The Road to War in the Galactic Republic (Part 1)
The results of the activities of these members of the "Loyalty Committee" in the Outer Rim Star Region can be imagined.
Some members of the Loyalty Committee were even beaten to death by the angry people!
However, they used their actions and even their lives to earn enough political reputation for Palpatine.
Not only that, Palpatine also let the media controlled by him spread on the Galaxy Information Network images of members of the 'Loyalty Council' being beaten to death, hung or even burned to death by the people of the Outer Rim Sector, and then he stood up and spoke out righteously.
ordered these media outlets to remove all videos.
But this information has already been spread, and it has had an extremely bad impact, causing the planets in the ever-swaying Central Star Region to begin to think that those in the Outer Ring Star Region are all terrorists.
As a result, in public opinion and on the Internet, the media on both sides began to spit, and the people on both sides also became extremely hostile.
The people in the Central Sector began to think that it was because the Galactic Republic had to bear so many burdens for the bumpkins in the Outer Rim that their lives had not been good. The people in the Inner Rim thought that those in the Outer Rim could just be slaves and nothing else.
Make a lot of money by delaying them.
As for the planets in Renshangren's inner circle, they just hope to start fighting as soon as possible so that their military industry can make more money.
However, at this time, Speaker Sheev Palpatine once again showed a compassionate attitude. He claimed that he would never give up his efforts for peace at any time. He also continued to help the Outer Rim Planet in public speeches in the media.
District of the planet speaks.
"I always believe that when a person cannot even eat enough, all his actions can be forgiven."
"Before blaming those planets in the outer ring, we should first reflect on ourselves. Can we do more for them?"
"If there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, I will not hesitate to lead everyone to the battlefield. But now, I must exercise the greatest restraint, because we are all a family, and we should not go to war with each other."
These inflammatory speeches deceived almost everyone. If there was a Nobel Peace Prize in this world, Palpatine would probably have won it for several years.
Afterwards, Palpatine personally went to the Jedi Temple and visited Master Yoda.
He and Master Yoda discussed the future of the galaxy for a long time. When he finished the conversation and came out of the living room, he asked a serious question: "Master Yoda, do you think war will really break out?"
Master Yoda just shook his head and said: "The dark side covers everything. What cannot be seen is the future."
"I will try." After Palpatine said these words, surrounded by the Chancellor's guards in red armor, he stepped onto his shuttle.
On the next day, 24 BBY, March 21, Sheev Palpatine gave a public speech in the holographic network of the entire galaxy. The momentum of this speech can be said to be unique. Almost all the media were on
In broadcasting his speech, at this time, the previously bickering media showed a high degree of unity, which also showed the extent to which Sheev Palpatine's political power has expanded after his re-election.
The speech lasted for 12 minutes. Palpatine showed an image of someone who had been wronged but still insisted on peace. On the surface, he continued to pioneer for the separatism and Count Dooku, but in fact he occupied the moral high ground, even letting the
People feel that anyone who opposes them is anti-human.
Palpatine said that even though everyone in the galaxy is thinking about war now, he is also fighting for peace.
At the end of his speech, Palpatine extended an invitation to Count Dooku: "I hope to have an open, fair, face-to-face debate with Count Dooku. I know there are many people on both sides who are eager to bring our
The dispute turned into a full-scale war, but I think such a dispute should not go to such an extreme result, and we should all have enough wisdom and reason to find a solution that we can sit down and solve together."
"I propose to conduct this negotiation on the neutral planet Botavi, or any other neutral planet. As long as Count Dooku is willing to come to negotiate, he knows how to find me, and my communication will remain open 24 hours a day. Of course.
, for security reasons, I will not discuss the negotiation time publicly, Count Dooku can make an appointment with me at any time at this time."
Speaker Sheev Palpatine's speech was regarded as his last effort for peace. Almost all media were exaggerating Palpatine's invitation to negotiate. They all claimed that Palpatine had
All benevolence and justice must be done, and if you still persist in this situation, then Count Dooku will undoubtedly bear full responsibility for the war.
But Count Dooku did not attend the appointment, nor did he send out any information. He just continued to carry out his career silently, constantly attracting more planets to join the separatist movement.
In fact, his reaction at this time was already discussed with Darth Sidious. This was a necessary means to move towards war.
Because of the special nature of the Galactic Republic's political system, Palpatine must not be the one to launch the war, otherwise no one will support him. Count Dooku must bear the responsibility for launching the war, and the hidden Interstellar Banking Association,
Super corporations such as the Trade Alliance, the Fourth Group, the Enterprise Alliance, the Commercial Guilds, and the Technology Alliance have also shouldered the blame for this war.
This is also a foundation laid in order to eradicate these enterprises in the future and use their accumulation and capital to become nutrients when the new order is established.
Count Dooku did not respond, and no response was the best response. His silence expressed his willingness to fight.
This meaning was also seen by the members of the entire Galactic Republic.
Only then did everyone truly realize that the war was within their reach!
After a month of waiting, Palpatine had to regretfully announce that peace efforts had failed and the door to negotiations had been closed.
But he still emphasized that before everything became irreversible, even at the last second, Count Dooku could dial his communication and talk to him about a peaceful solution.
After that, Sheev Palpatine returned to the Galactic Parliament and formally brought the possibility of war to the fore. He proposed the "Military Creation Act" in the Parliament, aiming to re-establish the Galaxy.
Armed Forces of the Republic.
He confirmed that the bill will be discussed in a plenary vote on May 16.
And this bill is also the first step towards war for the Galactic Republic.
